Patricia smiled, looking at Ruth. "Isn't that the case?"
Ruth was speechless. Patricia got up and then looked indifferently at Ruth. "Have you ever thought about it? Which young lady from an eminent family, let's not talk about ladies from an eminent family, even if it's just a presentable girl from a decent family, which one of them would be as lowly as you? You're so lowly that you're just like an obedient dog! Are you even the slightest bit like a lady from an eminent family?"
"You..." Ruth simply wanted to slap this shameless future mother-in-law of hers to death!
All the nonsense about being ladylike and having patience! She did not want any of that anymore. She simply wanted to step on this d*mned old hag at that moment! She was so resentful that she clenched both her fists tightly.
Just when she was about to raise her hand and punch Patricia on her face, she suddenly heard Ryan shout in anger. "Mom! You've gone too far! Do you know that Ruth usually never wash my feet? I was the one to wash her feet for her! You're really something else! You have such a good daughter-in-law serving you here, and yet, you think that she is lowly! How am I only finding out today that my mom is a troublemaker!
Ruth was speechless. She was originally filled with anger, but when she saw her fiance arguing with his own mother, half of Ruth's anger had vanished. She suppressed her anger and persuaded Ryan instead." Ryan, don't argue with your mother. Perhaps she still doesn't know me too well. After she has gotten to know me, she will not think of me like that anymore. Missus Poole, hurry up and go rest. Your feet have just been washed, so your pores are still open. If you just let it air dry like that outside, you will easily catch a cold. Hurry up and go rest."
Patricia rolled her eyes at Ruth. "My son had never talked back to me! However, for you, he dared to argue with me!"
After saying that, she angrily went inside. Her anger still had not been vented yet, so she took out her phone and gave Ryan's father a call.
"Austin! I had clearly seen the woman arguing with others while having her hands on her waist! That truly is very embarrassing! It's embarrassing beyond measure. Also, just now! You didn't see it. The way she bowed and scraped to wash my feet for me just now. I truly thought that she was a girl who washes other people's feet! The Poole family is the top family in Kidon City. How can we have such a daughter-in-law? We absolutely can't have her!"
Ryan's father's voice could be heard coming from the other end of the line. "Well, Alex had already said that she is not a bad girl, and our son likes her."
"Alex, Alex!" Patricia lashed out. "You'll just listen to Alex for everything! See for yourself, what kind of
woman Alex had married? He truly had taken advantage of the proximity! He married his own maid! Our son, Ryan, had admired his Uncle Alex since childhood! Great! He also learned from his uncle and i s marrying a lowly foot-washing girl! Could it be that our Poole family will have to be reduced to being a space for maids and foot washing girls?"
Ryan's father sighed over the phone. "Then what do you think we should do?"
"It's already too late today! Our son had already brought her into the bedroom! Let's wait for tomorrow and see! I have to take our son back to Kidon City tomorrow morning and never ever let him meet this woman again!"
"Alright, alright, alright, don't get angry. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
After he hung up the call, Patricia's anger still had not been vented. However, she had a foot soak for more than forty minutes, so she was indeed feeling drowsy. She then fell asleep soon after she lay on the bed.
On the other hand, her son, Ryan, was still coaxing Ruth in a soft and gentle voice, "Ruth, I saw that you're quite sensible out there just now. You even stopped m e from having an argument. Why are you still pouting i n anger after we have come into the bedroom?" Ryan asked Ruth cautiously.
Ruth sighed. "Ryan, what Sabrina said was actually right. Sabrina had always been afraid that your family and I are not a good match in terms of status. Because of this, she even took out her entire savings to buy a house for me in Kidon City. All because she was afraid that your family, the Poole family, would look down on me. She even told me to be tolerant about everything. I had tolerated and I had also listened to your mother. Even when your mother spoke about me so harshly, I didn't even talk back to her."
